When his father moves out, twelve-year-old Tall T, his siblings, and their mother must find ways to manage without him. This novel, set in Jamaica in the 1960s and based on Hinds's actual childhood experiences, gets its substance from the vivid details of island life. In spite of Tall T's father's desertion and the abject poverty of the family, the novel has a triumphant tone. Glos.
